HPV Symptoms

Better known as the 'Fabulous Pharmacist' online, from her vulva puppet to her no-holds-barred podcast, Laura Dowling is on a mission to get women (and men) speaking openly "My friend was worried about a rash on her husband's undercarriage, so she asked if I knew what it was. "It was just jock rash and something that could be treated with over-the-counter cream. But that was the lightbulb moment when I thought I needed to have something online. "I wanted to give people informative, unbiased information to understand how to treat minor ailments and conditions because I was always getting the same questions from my customers, family, and friends — so the Fabulous Pharmacist was born."

Austin, we're sweaty. Day after day of 100-degree-plus heat will do that to us. Why do we sweat? We need sweat to help us regulate our body temperature, said Dr. Amy McClung, a dermatologist with U.S. Dermatology Partners in Austin. "It's the way we cool off when our body gets hot and our muscles get heated up," she said. "We should all be sweating," she said. "It's a healthy thing." Sweating a lot can be a sign of heat exhaustion. Not sweating can be a sign that your body is now in heat stroke. Why does sweat stink? It doesn't, said McClung, when it comes out of the sweat glands. When it mixes with the skin's bacteria and toxins, then we smell. Sweat tastes salty because of sodium, chloride and toxins in our body. Is sweat good for us? Yes. Along with controlling our body temperature, sweat helps us get rid of bacteria on our skin. Sweat naturally has an antimicrobial peptide called dermcidin, which can help manage skin infections. Swe...

BARCELONA, Spain — Findings from a meta-analysis of 65 studies conducted in 35 countries indicate that nearly a third of men older than 15 years are infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), and 1 in 5 are carriers of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV). These estimates provide further weight to arguments in favor of vaccinating boys against HPV to prevent certain types of cancer. "Our results support that sexually active men, regardless of age, are an important reservoir of HPV genital infection," wrote the authors. "These estimates emphasize the importance of incorporating men into comprehensive HPV prevention strategies to reduce HPV-related morbidity and mortality in men and ultimately achieve elimination of cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases." Literature Review HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection worldwide. More than 200 HPV types can be transmitted sexually, and at least 12 types are ...

Skin and nails play a crucial role in overall well-being. Therefore, it is vital to maintain good skin and nail health to live a healthy life. The skin has three layers that protect the inner organs against damage. Nails also protect fingertips and improve dexterity. Several factors can affect the skin and nails' condition, function, and aesthetics. Genetics, personal lifestyle, and environmental conditions can affect skin health. Some of the common skin conditions include eczema, acne, and dermatitis. Nails comprise keratin, a protein that makes it tough. Fungal infections can affect the quality of the nails, causing them to be brittle, discolored, and thick. Brittle nails easily crack when exposed to water or other chemicals. Fungal infections such as onychomycosis cause the nail to become discolored. Psoriasis is a condition that affects both nails and skin due to low immunity. It causes skin thickening, scaly patches, discoloration, and detachment of nails from the nail bed. ...
